Honor the Lord from your wealth
And from the first of all your produce;

Long life is in her right hand;
In her left hand are riches and honor.

The wise will inherit honor,
But fools display dishonor.

“Prize her, and she will exalt you;
She will honor you if you embrace her.

“Riches and honor are with me,
Enduring wealth and righteousness.

A gracious woman attains honor,
And ruthless men attain riches.

The fear of the Lord is the instruction for wisdom,
And before honor comes humility.

Before destruction the heart of man is haughty,
But humility goes before honor.

Keeping away from strife is an honor for a man,
But any fool will quarrel.

The glory of young men is their strength,
And the honor of old men is their gray hair.

He who pursues righteousness and loyalty
Finds life, righteousness and honor.

The reward of humility and the fear of the Lord
Are riches, honor and life.

Do not claim honor in the presence of the king,
And do not stand in the place of great men;

Like snow in summer and like rain in harvest,
So honor is not fitting for a fool.

Like one who binds a stone in a sling,
So is he who gives honor to a fool.

A man’s pride will bring him low,
But a humble spirit will obtain honor.
